Customs data reveals China is fueling Russia’s war in Ukraine
NY Post ^ | February 4, 2023 | By Jacob Geanous

China is fueling Moscow’s war in Ukraine by sending fighter-jet components, navigational systems for military helicopters, and other technology since last year’s invasion, Russian customs data shows.

The shipments, which are not weapons but have wartime uses, are reportedly among thousands of Chinese imports from both state-owned and private businesses recorded by the Russian customs office, a list that also includes telescoping antennas for military vehicles that can be used for communications jamming and parts for a radar system used to detect jets and missiles.

Customs data compiled by the Washington-based national security nonprofit C4ADS and examined by the Wall Street Journal shows that Russia has been able to continue bolstering its military arsenal by importing technology from countries that have not joined the West’s efforts to sanction Moscow.

Other countries continuing to send shipments to Russia include the United Arab Emirates and Turkey, a member of NATO, which has branded the sanctions ineffective. But the Journal report found China is the “dominant exporter” of what’s known as “dual-use” goods or materials that could be used in weapons or less lethal products.

"We're determined to deter aggression, and to prevent conflict, and to establish common sense guardrails," he said. "And our new initiatives are part of a government-wide approach that draws on all tools of national power to meet the China challenge."

Why did China do this against the US? They certainly knew we would detect it. So ask yourself why China did it.
Has China apologized? No! So it is not accidental.

What if we do a spy “OOOPS” in China’s direction?

China can do what it wants. But the USA doesn’t have to buy from them. We buy 10x more stuff from China than does Russia.

China just flew a balloon right over united states with arrogance, and in our face. China owns 10 times more assets (land, companies, mines) in United States than vice versa.

All this is possible because China has Trillion dollar trade surpluses.

That should not come as a surprise to us while we are fueling Ukraine’s war with Russia, regardless who started the conflict.
We chose Ukraine’s side. China chose Russia’s side — commie supporting commie.

No wonder Russia has a problem with their equipment. Chinese made parts are NEVER a good choice!

If you supported the free trade scheme as promoted by de Bush #41, look in the mirror 🪞 for the cause of our problems with China.

I’m thinking of it as more of a world war at this point.

Probably because this is total bullchat. I really wish people would not jump to believe that everything some entity reports is truthful.

NY Post also has an agenda

“ commie supporting commie.”

Yep.

Chicom military build up past 3 decades is all from Russia.

Russia initially just sold them stuff but taught them how to build it themselves over time.

We buy from them because we made it that way. We make very little in America anymore. We assemble pieces and parts made in China.

The US is responsible for our own demise.

Be careful, we use Chinese parts for about everything. The meds you take are made in China.
